UF has more rivalry wiht Georgia then with ucg. <br />
ucg needs to realize Miami is at the end of state and the only schools that are closer to at FIU and FAU, Gville is 5 hours away, and Tallis is 9 hours away. There are hills up there, no beaches, it gets colder than 60, red clay and the seasons change somehow, it is a different place. <br />
Florida should have a playoff system, in the South FIU, FAU and ucg should play and the top dog move to the playoff.<br />
In the center UCF, Bethun Cookman and USF should play and the winner goes to the playoff.<br />
In the North, UF, FAU and FSU and the winner moves to the playoff<br />
the top 3 will play eachother and decided the state champion by record and points, then that team plays for the Championship and the other 2 go to different bowls. <br />
I know it sounds crazy, but then again the Bowl Championship doesn&#39;t make much sense.</p>CJ commented on 'Marshall The Buccaneer 'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20115705abe58970b2009-04-28T21:00:03Z2009-04-28T21:00:03ZCJbefore CC or any other UM fan starts to shoot arrows my way... remember i hate the gators and do...<p>before CC or any other UM fan starts to shoot arrows my way... remember i hate the gators and do root for the U when they do not play FIU. just thought this definition is interesting lol</p>CJ commented on 'Marshall The Buccaneer 'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20115705a9bde970b2009-04-28T20:56:19Z2009-04-28T20:56:19ZCJHello canes fans.

<p>Please, let us not be angered by the the ignorance and the lack of class shown by some of the fans of our friends at UF. Let us instead realize just how much much of a motivating factor FEAR is. You see, people don&#39;t like things that they FEAR. When they come across something they FEAR, they strike out against it and attack it, out of FEAR. </p>
<p>This is the tactic that our Gator friends have been employing here the last few years, due to their recent success. Let us not forget that not too long ago the gators were an underachieving and second rate SEC football team who were of little to no significance to anyone outside of gainesville. Now they are a talented team with a whiny head coach and a gimmicky offense. (That doesn&#39;t produce any lasting NFL talent). Also let us not forget that up until last year UF hasn&#39;t beaten UM in a number of years. </p>
<p>Strong and fast. Miami changed the way college football was played. Yes, including you Gators, you took your cues from us too! <br />
No need to thank us you&#39;re welcome. Don&#39;t forget UM owned most of the 80&#39;s and 90&#39;s. If we didn&#39;t win the NC we were playing for it. Cant say the same for the gators. Our last one was IN 2001. Then we had another one the next year stolen by ref&#39;s. So I think were coming due. Regardless of what you say, 5 championships is still better than 3. And until you get 5, please exercise your right to remain silent.</p>
<p>So with all of that said, lets make it clear so that everyone can understand.</p>
<p>THE FLORIDA GATORS FEAR THE MIAMI HURRICANES!!!</p>
<p>How else can you explain their behavior? For example:<br />
1. Finding the newspaper that covers the miami area (The Herald)<br />
2. Creating a profile and becoming a member of the canes blog <br />
(Eye on the U)<br />
3. Logging into a UM athletics blog (basketball article) and spewing <br />
their rhetoric and taunting UM fans.</p>
<p>ALL MOTIVATED BY FEAR (so, so, sad......)</p>
<p>So instead of anger and frustration, let us have mercy on our little fishy friends from the swamp. For they as well as the rest of the country have taken notice. The U is on it&#39;s way back to greatness!!!</p>
<p>Only a coward kicks a man when he&#39;s down. But a real man will get up, stand toe to toe and fight for respect. We have been down and have taken our licks. But now were rising up to take our rightful place. As one of the most dominant teams in college football history. <br />
And were not done yet. When we get back on our feet we&#39;ll show you who is best the state of Florida has to offer. (That is, if you&#39;ll play us?)</p>
<p>Who would of thunk? A huge publicly funded state school, would be so concerned about a small little private school in Miami.</p>
<p>THEY MUST BE SCARED!</p>
<p>Watch out little gators, There&#39;s a Hurricane coming&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</p>
<p>It&#39;s all about the U!!!</p>

Just to stir the pot take a look at the definition of fear</p>
<p>THE FLORIDA GATORS (replace w/ UM) FEAR THE MIAMI HURRICANES(replace w/ FIU)!!!</p>

We can make a home for Miami FC on campus, which will be a huge boost to our own soccer program, by building a venue capable of holding somewhere in the area of 5-8000 people.</p>Gooch7 commented on 'Marshall The Buccaneer 'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201156f637698970c2009-04-28T15:00:34Z2009-04-28T15:00:34ZGooch7FIUPantherFan The Track team practices in the mornings as well as in the afternoon at Tropical Park.

<p>The Track team practices in the mornings as well as in the afternoon at Tropical Park. They are renting out the facility at T.P. in the mean time. </p>
<p>I have asked Pete as well as coaches about building the New Soccer/Track stadium, and everyone has given me the same answer: &quot;When they finish Phase Two of the football stadium they will start with the Soccer/Track Stadium. That means most likely start in 2010, and open for the stadium for 2011 (soccer season).. Its not the best answer but at least there is a goal in mind.</p>
<p>Note: Even with all that said the Track team has found a way to compete well at the Conference level and the NCAAA level. Good luck to the entire team (specialy the distance group)...</p>

Your comeback from the unfortunate event against Miami to receiving a second chance and you making the absolute most of it is a great story and example for ALL of us at any age! I&#39;ve told my kids about you because yours is a story worth telling.</p>
<p>Congratulations on TWO things, 1) earning your Master&#39;s degree and 2) your invitation to the Bucs camp. We at the GPP nation will be following you closely and will root for you and ALL Golden Panther pro athletes! Good luck!</p>

Middle Tenn. has Troy and WKU left, so hopefully WKU can sweep them and Troy can get a win or 2. Then Troy has ULM and S. Alabama (not including Middle Tenn. bc we want them to win some there) left, so hopefully overall they could lose a couple games there. Therefore, setting us up for a 2nd place regular season finish!!!....

<p>Baseball is going to need to packed house (or at least 1/2 a packed house) in the last 3 home games of the season. Turtle and the boys need to finish the season the way they started. I still think they will make Semi&#39;s in the Sunbelt and posibly The Championship game. Western is tough!</p>

<p>Good luck to McDuffie. Hopefully he can really work hard and show coaches that he deserves a a roster spot. Special teams, maybe a dimeback on passing downs. </p>
